Magical oasis upon the Salish Sea. Amazing waterfront .43-acre property directly neighbouring the white sandy beach of Pilot Bay on Gabriola Island. A barefoot jaunt across the road leads to matching white sand of Taylor Bay; back-to-back the Bays (along with the Malaspina Galleries) make up the Gabriola Sands Provincial Park. Dream big while bunking down in rustic, but sweet seaside cabin; enjoy the charm of yesteryear where days were long & families gather. One bedroom cottage with small kitchen, living-dining-room, and lovely deck with beautiful sunrises. Only steps to the beach where the kids have a safe, shallow, protected Bay to spend days swimming & splashing alongside eagles, seals, otters, and more! 5-minute drive to ferry, a variety of shops, and the Farmers’ Market. Gabriola Island is a short ferry ride from downtown Nanaimo and home to 4,500 permanent residents who have created a haven of creativity community. Rare opportunity to live amid nature and plan for possibilities!

About
Looking back, it is hard to imagine that he would be where he is today, doing what he loves, surrounded by incredible family and friends. It feels like yesterday that this small town, Hanna, Alberta, farm boy was out working the fields with his Dad. Growing up it was always “family-first” in the Walper household. Kirk, the proud middle child, brother of two fun-loving sisters Melanie and Leanne, attributes so much of what he’s accomplished to the strong roots planted by his parents, Eric and Fay. Now, a second-generation realtor since 2001, Kirk continues to follow in the footsteps of his parents.
